The bullying started in Cary Trivanovich's life when he was in middle school. He remembers he didn't know how to respond to the taunts and threats and how isolated and scared he was to tell anyone he was being bullied.

First of all, I apologize for the appalling error that appeared in the lead headline of Thursday's Statesboro Herald. I apologize to the family and friends of Brandie Danielle Davis for our carelessness that is inexcusable for such a sensitive and tragic story. I apologize to our readers for doing our jobs in a manner that brings into question our competence and credibility.
